And they’re already laying folks off? That’s not good. I don’t really have anything against IGN but I do like that different sites have different voices, tones, personalities. Hopefully this doesn’t result in less of that.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Digital Foundry going forward, hopefully IGN doesn’t interfere too much.

I could be wrong but I think EG and DF just have a publishing agreement together. I don’t think EG has editorial control over DF.

Ah that makes sense! It would suck if they did own DF too!

Metacritic was already useless, but now with half the reviewers being owned by IGN it will get even worse. At this point, no Xbox game will score near 90 anymore, no matter how good it is. Totally ridiculous.

weird that he just took the pics out of Aaron’s tweet without attribution (or just a RT instead)

I was looking at dropping desktop PCs more and more and do a mix of light gaming+cloud and then Xbox, and those PCs are making me wanna do that transition earlier than anticipated. Really impressive stuff all around and this is the first generation! Can only imagine in a few years. I also wonder how well it’ll run with an eGPU as they have thunderbolt 4 on the laptops as well!

Pretty sure this is from Gamescom last year because there’s a few YouTubers I follow (one is JorRaptor) and they played this demo there. Looks awesome. As long as it has difficulty levels and I don’t lose what I gained when dying, im in.

Awesome. Thanks for info.

I don’t think it’s too relevant to be honest as these are ultrabook level processors and from what I understand GPUs are still somewhat lacking a bit (although impressive for a first product) but it isn’t really what was being pushed here so the fact they have over 1200 games tested at 1080 with Super Resolution that run at least at 30fps is quite impressive in my opinion.

There are SOCs that’ll run with Nvidia RTX GPUs planned for release later this year so that’ll give an insane performance push.

Funny thing is Yusuf Mehdi said that they estimate over 50 million Co-pilot PCs sold in the next 12 months. Seems 2026 will be pretty big.

BGS is about to do what they did with Fallout 4. It was criticised, some of it was warranted (I still loved it) and made it a whole lot better with Far Harbor.
